Answer:

170 N

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) = 20 Kg

Angle (θ) = 30°

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Weight (W) =?

The perpendicular component of the weight can be obtained by using the following formula:

W = mg × Cosθ

W = 20 × 9.8 × Cos 30

W = 196 × 0.866

W = 169.7 ≈ 170 N

Therefore, perpendicular component of the weight is 170 N

an object traveling 200 feet per second slows to 50 feet per second in 5 seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the object

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given:

Initial velocity of object $v_i$ = 200 feet/second

Final velocity of object $v_f$ = 50 feet/second

Time of travel = 5 seconds

To calculate acceleration of the object we will find the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

So, acceleration $a$ is given by:

$a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{t}$

where $v_f$ represents final velocity, $v_i$ represents initial velocity and $t$ is time of travel.

Plugging in values to evaluate acceleration.

$a=\frac{50-200}{5}$

$a=\frac{-150}{5}$

$a=-30\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the object is $-30\ m/s^2$ (Answer). The negative sign shows the object is slowing down.

A student fills a tank of radius r with water to a height of h1 and pokes a small, 1.0 cm diameter hole at a distance h2 from th

Alik [6]

when a hole is made at the bottom of the container then water will flow out of it

The speed of ejected water can be calculated by help of Bernuolli's equation and Equation of continuity.

By Bernoulli's equation we can write

$Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2 + \rho g h = Po + \frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2 + \rho g *0$

Now by equation of continuity

$A_1v_1 = A_2v_2$

$\pi (0.2)^2 v_1 = \pi (0.01)^2 v_2$

from above equation we can say that speed at the top layer is almost negligible.

$v_1 = 0$

now again by equation of continuity

$\rho g h = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^2$

$v = \sqrt{2 g h}$

here we have

$h = h_1 - h_2$

$h = 0.50 - 0.03 = 0.47m$

now speed is given by

$v = \sqrt{2* 9.8 * 0.47}$

$v = 3.03 m/s$

Which force prevents protons from repelling each other inside a nucleus?

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

So, the correct answer is the strong nuclear force. It actually pulls together nuetrons and protons that are in the nucleus. At very tiny distances only, like those inside the nucleus, so, this strong force succeded in dealing with the electromagnetic force, and it basically stops the electrical repulsion of protons from blowing apart the nucleus.

In both the camera and the __________, light enters a narrow opening and is projected onto a photosensitive surface. Group of an

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer: The HUMAN EYE

Explanation:

The human eye is made up of different parts which ranges from controlling the amount of light that enters the eye to the focusing of the image that is formed. The camera is a device which is both mechanically and electronically operated which shares a number of similarities with the eye.

In the human eye, the IRIS helps to regulate the amount of rays passing through the pupil to the lens by either contracting or dilating in light or dark environment respectively. While in the camera, the DIAPHRAGM controls the amount of light entering the camera.

The PUPIL serves as the passage for light into the eye while in the camera, the APERTURE does the same.

The photosensitive surface in the eye is the YELLOW SPOT while in the camera, the photosensitive surface is the PHOTOGRAPHIC FILM.
